The focus of our plant dynamics research lab is to identify and quantify mechanisms of plant intra- and inter-specific competition for space. Our fundamental objective is to integrate plant growth plasticity with competition processes and to evaluate the consequences on plant population and community dynamics. The lab's expertise in plant competition for space is applied to solve environmental problems such as controlling invasive plant species in natural areas and using fast-growing macrophytes for water treatment.
